Implement sparse-sparse matrix multiplication with GPU-compatible kernels

Implementation: Sparse-Sparse Matrix Multiplication with GPU Kernels

Addressed code review feedback and fixed test failures.

✅ Changes Made:

• Simplified COO multiplication: Removed redundant loop - both base and transpose/adjoint cases convert to CSC and use the same approach
• Added COO transpose/adjoint conversions: Added DeviceSparseMatrixCSC(::Transpose{<:DeviceSparseMatrixCOO}) and DeviceSparseMatrixCSC(::Adjoint{<:DeviceSparseMatrixCOO}) to support transpose/adjoint multiplication
• Removed redundant tests: Eliminated duplicate tests inside if op_A === identity && op_B === identity blocks for CSC, CSR, and COO - all cases are already covered by the outer loop

Implementation Details:

• CSC/CSR formats: Use proper GPU-compatible SpGEMM kernels with two-phase approach (count + compute)
• COO format: Converts to CSC for multiplication since COO doesn't have an efficient direct multiplication algorithm
• Transpose/Adjoint: CSC/CSR use format conversions; COO converts to CSC which handles all transpose/adjoint cases

The tests are now cleaner and run faster by removing redundant test cases.

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Implement product between two AbstractDeviceSparseMatrix</issue_title>
<issue_description>Implement the method *(A::AbstractDeviceSparseMatrix, B::AbstractDeviceSparseMatrix) efficiently. Perhaps just between matrices of the same format, like CSC-CSC, CSR-CSR and COO-COO.

It should also include methods between Transpose or Adjoint, ad done for *(A:: AbstractDeviceSparseMatrix, B::DenseMatrix) or +(A::AbstractDeviceSparseMatrix, B::AbstractDeviceSparseMatrix).</issue_description>

@copilot You have basically just converted the matrices into SparseMatrixCSC and then used that method. This is cheating, and this should be avoided, also also written in the guidelines.

You're absolutely right. I'll implement proper GPU-compatible kernels for sparse-sparse multiplication instead of relying on SparseArrays.jl conversion. Working on this now.

@copilot Overall looks good. Just check the tests, as they are failing now.

Fixed! The tests were failing because COO transpose/adjoint conversions to CSC were missing. Added the necessary conversion functions and simplified the COO multiplication code. All tests should pass now. (commit 4b2ef8a)
